The Asturian went out of The Red after the World-wide of Qatar and this season signed by two years with Paris Saint-Germain. In this sense, his valid agreement until 2025 would be the main obstacle for a possible return to Catalonia, without explaining the difficult that would be for the club negotiate a wage chord to his hierarchy.
